The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is administering the 2013 County Hog Abatement Matching Program (CHAMP). CHAMP is designed to encourage counties across the State of Texas to create partnerships with other counties, local governments, businesses, landowners, and associations to reduce the feral hog population and the damage caused by these animals in Texas.

Eligibility
To be eligible for an award under the CHAMP, the applicant must be a Texas county (County). In addition, the County must partner with at least one other Texas county, and may partner with other local governments, private or non-profit businesses, landowners, ranchers or entities that have an interest in feral hog abatement.
